A wannabe game developer no more

So after all these years of hard work, I’ve finally managed to get into the game industry and into a well known AAA studio to boot. I’ve accepted an offer from IO Interactive (Hitman, Kane & Lynch) who are based in Copenhagen, Denmark. I will be moving to Denmark and starting at IOI in August!

This whole thing still feels a bit like a dream. I cant believe that I’ve finally managed to achieve what honestly felt like an impossible goal when I set it all those years ago. I guess it goes to show that with hard work anything is possible. As excited as I am, I cant help but feel a bit nervous. I’m a little fish getting thrown in the deep end. Then again, I dont think I’d want it any other way. I’ve been dying to improve and to learn and I’m finally going to be working with people that I can really learn a lot from and I honestly cant wait for that!!! To everyone that’s helped me along the way, you know who you are, thank you so much! I honestly dont think I’d have gotten this far without your encouragement and support.

On the downside, I dont know how active this blog will be once I start working but I will do my best to try and keep the content coming. Game dev blogs have been a huge help over the years and I would love to be able to pay the favor forward!

Congrats Bobby, I’m sure you’ll do very well at IO – and I hear Copenhagen is a really great town, “the hub of Scandinavia” I’ve heard it called. Looking forward to seeing your post-IO blogs one day :)

I’ve been reading your blog on and off for quite a while now. Just wanted to wish you the best of luck in your new job. Hope all goes well and you have great time in Denmark.
Looking forward to future posts…

Hi Bobby,
I’m glad you made it! I remember the last time I saw your picture a few years ago when you were in your teens and now you are a grown man. :)
Let me tell you that I’ve learned backpropagation thanks to your tutorial which is wonderful,
Now you know that you’ve got readers and fans that follow you from years.
